WATER-CLOSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,180, dated October 13, 1885.

Application filed August 25, 1885. Serial No. 175,293. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP BRADY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Water-Closet, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved watercloset which is simple in construction, effective in use, and which is trapped perfectly.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts and details, as will be fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figurel is a cross-sectional elevation of my improved water-closet. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same.

The hopper A, made of any suitable mate rial and of any suitable shape, is located below the seat B, and is provided at its lower end with a neck, 0, having a flange, D, by which the neck is connected with the upper end of the soilpipe E, in the upper part of which a conical valve-chamber, F, is formed, containing the hollow conical valve G, closed at the ends and having part out out, as shown in Fig. 1that is, about three-quarters of the circumference of the valve is removed for a certain length, the remaining part of the circumference serving to close the soil'pipe E.

One end of the valve or plug G is provided with an arm, H, connected with a rod, J, extending up through the seat B. The overflow or safety pipe K extends from the chamber F upward to a point some distance below the top of the bowl or hopper and then down, and is then connected with the soilpipe E some distance below the chamber.

A pipe, L, is connected with the pipe K, for carrying off the gases, Sue. The flushingwater is conducted into the bowl or hopper 45 through the pipe M.

The operation is as follows: Usually the valve G is in the position shown in Fig. 1, and keeps the soil-pipe E closed, and the water rises in the pipe K up to the level of the water in the hopper or bowl. If from any source whatever more water runs into the bowl and raises the level, the water also rises in the pipe K and flows off through said pipe, thus preventing the water from flowing over the rim of the bowl. The water in the pipe K also prevents the gases from the soil-pipe passing into the bowl. Any gases that accumulate in the pipe K flow off through the pipe L. When the contents of the bowl are to be discharged, the rod J is drawn up to re volve the valve G and cause it to open the pipe E, at the same time closing the lower end of the pipe K. The contents of the bowl flows into the soil'pipe, and when the handle is released the valve G is swung back into the position shown in Fig. 2 by the weight of the arm H, or a weight on said arm.

It is evident that the abovedescribed overflow-pipe can be used on baths, basins, 810., as well as on water-closet bowls.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the bowl A of the soil-pipe E, having the valve-chamber F, of the pipe K, connected with the valve-chamber, and extending upward to a point below the top of the bowl and then down, and connected with the pipe E below the valve-chamber F, the valve G, and the ventilating-pipe L, connected with the pipe K, substantially as herein shown and described.

PHILIP BRADY.
